Shadowed multiple clinicians in a variety of clinical roles and specialties at Kaiser Permanente at both the San Leandro and Fremont locations, including but not limited to:-Dr. Joel Ou(Anesthesiologist), who administered anesthesia for a variety of different procedures, including endoscopies and colonoscopies. -Dr. Sheena Sawant (Anesthesiologist), who completed nerve blocks for patients post-surgery for temporary pain relief using an Ultrasound to visualize nerve/artery/vein locations-Dr. Joseph Teng (Hospitalist), who completed patient rounding and worked with MS3 medical students from Drexel School of Medicine. During my time with Dr. Teng, I was able to gain valuable insight into the life of a medical student, specifics regarding clinical rotations, and the medical school admissions process. -Dr. Kevin J Li (Psychiatrist), who is the Head and Director of ECT (Electro-convulsive therapy), which utilizes an electrical current through bilateral or unilateral leads to send an electrical signal to the brain to treat psychiatric disorders such as Clinical Depression/Anxiety. Patients generally are on a 12-week course of ECT, but this varies with symptoms. The electrical signal provided to the patient induces a brief seizure, so patients are always sedated and put under heavy anesthesia to ensure they don't feel any discomfort.
